Yesterday i was having a problem with avast blocking a java based application as well. After reading this reply I checked my ashWebSv.dll file and it was the correct .160. After checking that file earlier today, the java program worked just fine so I thought an Avast update fixed it. I just reinstalled avast because I didn’t want any problems in the future after updating to windows 8.1 and a fully updated avast is back to blocking that java program even though it has the 9.0.2006.160 version of ashWebSv.dl.

I noticed that there is a new file in the avast folder now: ashwebsv.dll.1382071622. When I checked earlier and the program was not getting blocked, this file wasn’t there. What can I do to get this problem fixed?
